We don't do all people. Peopletion alright, clacho with a Seawan Hannity Show right down, a toll free telephone number. You want to be a part of this extravaganza. We have new poll numbers. Yes, a majority, a huge majority of American support the Muslim band, the temporary ninety day refugee pause. Oh my gosh, you would think Kelly Ann Conway committed the greatest crime of the century. We'll get to that today. Also, Democrats now recognize they can't win, and they're scrapping their all night protests. Bill Crystal has totally lost it and gone off the deep end, saying that lazy white working class should be replaced by new Americans. Really, what is the new American? We just replaced him. You're going to speak in such broad in general and myopic turns because Bill is bitter that he was so wrong on Donald Trump. Pretty pathetic. And we'll get to all of that today and so much more that we have to touch on today. Um now, um, what you heard there is police now had to make several arrests. This was in Phoenix today as protesters were blocking law enforcement officials from leaving a U S Immigration office in Phoenix, fearing that a mother of two was headed for deportation. Now, the protests surging at the Immigration Customs Enforcement Facility the ICE facility after Guadalupe Garcia that AEOS was taken into custody during a routine check in with the agency. Activists said it was an attempt by President Donald Trump's administration to deport immigrants living in the country illegally who had previously not been a priority for deportation under the Obama administration. Fearing the thirty six year old woman may return to Mexico, her home country, dozens of immigration radical activists blocked the gates surrounded the office near Central Phoenix in what the Arizona Republic said was an effort to stop police vans and a bus from leaving. And the protesters were saying that Garcia de Rios was in one of the vehicles, which were used to transport people in ice custody to detention centers or to Arizona's border with Mexico for full deportation, and a Republic photo identified a woman looking through the glass of one of the vehicles and identified it as her. Now, police meanwhile had to take positions around the building confronted by demonstrators who are chanting justice, justice, justice, in both English and Spanish. And you heard all of that there. Now they were initially successful in stopping the vehicles. You know, you have people. We are living in a new era now where there's a war on immigrants, said the lawyer for Rios and told The New York Times after leaving the Immigration Building um this group twenty Arizona and Immigration Advocacy Group said Garcia Drejos came to the US as a fourteen year old has two children. She was arrested on Wednesday while reporting to ICE an annual requirement. Now, what they're not telling you he's here? Well, why did they arrest this woman? What did she do? You know? Why did this happen? You know? Is it just because Donald Trump wants to round up immigrants? Is that? Is that the whole reason for the arrest? Is that the reason for the protest? Or could it be that she did something else? Well, it turns out that, according to the Associated Press, the woman was convicted of identity theft. So she didn't respect American law, she didn't respect American sovereignty. She entered the country illegally, and then she was found guilty and convicted of identity theft. Now, I don't know how many of you know people that have been victims of identity theft. One of the reasons LifeLock dot com is such an important sponsor to this program and we're so honored to partner with them is because they provide a service that is needed now more than ever. Because identity theft is and I don't say it just because I like to read it. It's the fastest growing crime in the country. And I know people whose lives have almost been turned upside down and ruined, and years of their life spent trying to undo the damage of these identity thieves. And what they do is they basically get your information, They pretend that they're you. They rip off your retirement funds, they rip off your your bank accounts, They can rob you blind, they can literally spend money, open credit card accounts as all sorts of schemes, take your tax refunds, and make your life a living hell, and your name and reputation are literally shot. In other words, she didn't care about the country that wasn't deporting her. She didn't want to come here and be a all abiding citizen. And whoever she was found guilty of of this identity theft, I guarantee you their life became, for at least a period of time, a living hell. Because now we think about this, let let's say it's your credit card that they open in your name. Then without the credit card companies are after you. And now, by the way, your credit score goes down the tubes, your credit rating. Now you can't even get a credit card. And maybe they get into your retirement account. Maybe you've saved your entire life and you're ready to retire, and all that money that you've been putting away and counting on for your older years is gone. Or maybe it's your bank account. Every penny that you have worked hard and saved your entire life is gone. Because that's what identity thieves do. They rob you blind without any consideration for you whatsoever. And the question here is, you know, now I'm looking at the polls, most Americans want the border secure. Most Americans believe in Donald Trump. There was a McLaughlan and Associates whole fifty seven percent support Trump's ninety day refugee pause from failed Middle Eastern countries that are either safe havens for terror, training grounds for terrorists, or have many known terrorists within the country that may want to come to America and bring harm to you, the American people. And Donald Trump, your president, doesn't want to gamble with your life like democrats want to, and he's willing to inconvenience a few people for the safety of the American people, which he is charged to uphold and as commander in chief and keep us as safe as possible, which is impossible at times. So my question here is what is all this about. You've got guys literally putting their their legs underneath police cars, protests, are locking himself to a van carrying this woman that is stopped by protests. You know, do any of these people protesting care about the victims of her crime in the ap article? Do any of them care about the misery in the suffering that goes along with identity theft. Let me tell you, I I know people that have had their credit rating destroyed, have been ripped off, have had to fight credit card companies, banks, and and even their retirement plans for years. It takes years in some cases to fix the damage that is done by identity theft. And by the way, all the rest of us now are inconvenienced. Also, you know, I was in Houston at the super Bowl. You know, I didn't stay for the Super Bowl, but I was there broadcasting Friday, and I was there Saturday, and I took money out of a bank twice, and every time, you know, I have Chase Bank, whatever bank, City bank, any bank account you have. Any time you take money out of your bank account, it's like you better tell your bank when they write you that yes it's you, or else you can't take any money out they lock up your card. So now I'm inconvenience that my phone's ringing. Then I got to talk to an operator and then I got a uh text back, one for yes, two for no. And then I'm wondering, is this some kind of fishing scheme. It's a It's just unbelievable the damage and the wreckage of this. So, you know what, She's convicted of identity theft. Didn't respect our laws and sovereignty. Now the argument is, well you should what about the children? Just children, Mr Hannity's just children. I love children too, I really do. Well if she cared, you know, you're asking the American people to care more about her children than she does, because if she cared about her kids, she wouldn't have done this. Think about it. It's ridiculous. By the way, breaking news sounder, if you made Jason this is huge, you would think this is gonna end the world as we know it. And it's just news now, Kelly Ann Conway, Kelly and County. She went on TV this morning and you know, of course, what had happened to the boycott of Avanka Trump and Avanka Trump merchandise at Nordstrom's and they're discontinuing stocking or clothing. And I have an inside source at Nordstrom that pointed out to me that one of their higher ranking executives actually tweeted something out uh that it was and clearly was a political decision. And an insider within Nordstrom told me it was totally political and that they purposely did this because they don't like Donald Trump. So Kelly Anne is friends with Avanca. I'm friends with Avonca. And then she went and she stood up for her friend and anyway, she you know, said well, I'm gonna give a free commercial. She said, go buy it today. Well, now you now saying go buy it today, all right. She's sticking up for her friend and the daughter of the president, because the daughter of the president, just like the ten year old son of the president, has been they've been unrelenting in their attacks against the kids against Avanca. You know, poor Eric Trump, who raised tens of millions of dollars for a great cause. Had to put his charity down because it might be a conflict a venture, So millions of dollars for charity and cancer are not going to be raised. Yeah, these laws are really smart and quote well, she might have may have violated the federal ban of employees from using their public office to endorse products regulation state. Okay, what are we gonna handcuff Kelly an now for supporting her friend? And really this is big news for cable today. That's the same people that ignored the corruption of Hillary, the Clinton Foundation, the quid pro quos, the pay to plays. You know, this is ridiculous. It's just just like we've been what we've been watching on display is a bunch of cry babies on the left. And after Betsy Divos and now Attorney General Sessions have one. Now the Democrats are gonna scrap their all night protests. You know why because they got their asses kicked and they lost and it's done nothing and it's not gonna do anything in the future too. And Neil Gorst's they're gonna lose lose that one as well. Anyway, eight nine four one, Shawn a toll free telephone number. We have a lot of other news will get to today.

I spent a lot of time writing today and I will unload tonight on television on the Republican Party. And the reason is is number one, my interests, at my desires. I don't support the personality of people for office as much as I do. What is their agenda? What what are they going to do? How are they going to make the lives of the American people who they're supposed to serve better? And you know, I'm watching Donald Trump and I've ticked off many times on this program all the things that he's accomplished in such a short period of time. And he's trying to move quickly and trying to get his health care replace and repeal and replace planned down. And I'm thinking, all right, you know these guys are with their long lunches and long vacations. You know, they're talking about the economic recovery plan in the spring. Can we do it in the winter? When you you know, when it's snowing outside, can we do it, you know, faster than this? Why are you so ill prepared? I don't understand it. Um, you know, these these politicians are pathetic. This is what about the people on food stamps, out of the labor force, uh, in poverty. That's what this election was about. You know, stop the delay, right the bill, past the bill. You know, look at Trump's agenda today. He's meeting with corporations. Will we'll get to those later in the program. And he's saying, come on in, guys, oh, denouncing Intel another seven billion dollars, they're going to invest in Arizona. And they're talking about the spring and maybe the end of the year to repeal and replace Obamacare. No, I want you to get it right. I don't want you to rush it. But I would think after seven eight years of saying you're gonna repeal and replace something, you would have built a consensus plan that was ready to go. What have you been doing for eight years? It's not something that I comprehend. It's not you know, my team and I have been discussing this. If nobody that I'm looking at now, sweet baby, James Linda, Lauren, Ethan, Jason. Nobody goes out for lunch any day, and if they did, they be fired. I mean, if something happens, if you're sick, is there anybody Lenda more generous? If somebody is sick, what do I say? Stay home? Right? If you're sick, if you have a family issue, if your cat dies, stay home. You know. But when you're here, what do I expect? I don't if you had, if you ever went out for lunch, I'd be shocked. Have you ever actually gonna ask? I'm actually really hungry. I need to go right now? Is that okay? Yeah? Yeah, sure, go in the middle of the show, super hungry. What the hell is wrong with these people? I Am going to unload on them tonight attend Eastern on Fox. It's just time to do it. Nobody else is gonna I will because my fidelity and truth is to you. The agenda is about you, fixing the country's about you. I bet all of you are as frustrated as I am. I bet because I know that that all of us combined you you look at your daily Let's say you are stay at home mom and you have kids. Okay, what is your day like, all right, you're up at six, you you're raised to the kitchen. You make the launch or you get this off, and you make sure they have the books, and make sure they did their homework, and make sure the dog didn't need the homework. You you maybe push out a cup of coffee and your carry or whatever machine you have, and you you shovel some coffee down your throat and you're off and you're gone all day. You know, that's one of, if not the hardest job in the world. Right, And then you gotta take your kids to whatever activities they have. Then you gotta watch and sit over them doing their stupid homework. And then you gotta try and rack your brain and remember stuff that they're never going to use in their life anyway. Then you gotta learn all about world history before they become a senior and they might get American history. I mean, it's just never ending. The job as a parent. I mean, it's just it's mine numbing. How hard people work. And let's say you you work in business, Okay, you probably you're in a competitive environment. You've got people breathing down your neck, You've got deadlines you gotta meet, you've got meetings. You gotta attend. You've got new business, you've got to bring into your your your place of work, and you never stop. I mean, at least that's the people that I know. That's a That's what my life is like. That's what my life has always been like. You know a lawyer, you know, first year lost, first year out of law school. Every lawyer I've ever known, except my buddy John Gomez, who found a way. He's the entire life he's been able to find a way to sort of just find a niche that nobody else has and and make his life work for him. And I give him, I give him a hard time all the time about it because he's he's been able to do this and thread this needle his entire life. But he still works hard. Don't get me wrong, But I don't care. What if you're a contractor, you're under pressure all the time to keep new business coming in, get the work done properly, on time, on budget, and pay your employees, and then deal with all the regulations of the government and then take out fike at taxes in this tax and that tax. If you're a doctor, you know, my doctor friends, they work their asses off you know, I know one of my doctor friends. He's fifty people a day. I mean he's racing from from one room to another all over the place and sending it this one for a test, this one for this test, this one for this test. Oh, we gotta take this guy to the hospital now, and then the whole day shot. Because he's saving people's lives, and they get paid a fraction of what they deserve, considering their four years of college, three to four years of medical school, their residency, their internship, and then by the time they want to open up a an office someplace, you know what, then the insurance company say, well, you get twenty dollars a visit. It's impossible. And then you have student loans that you're paying off to your fifty This is what life is. Life is hard. I'll never forget the road less traveled. Life is difficult. You've got to recognize that truth. Nothing worthwhile in life comes easily to anybody. Everybody's got to take risks. The only people that I know that have the best life and they're gonna deny. Well, Hannity, we've we've we've got security issues. I was reading about some representatives can congressmen and women are upset that you know, they're being protested at town halls and they have safety issues. And by the way, we've got to keep our elected officials safe. And there are lunatics out there, and I'm like, okay, I've dealt without my entire career. I mean, seriously, and it's part of the job of your republic figure. Unfortunately, it's a sad, sick, evil world out there, and you need to take all the precautions. But I'm thinking, Okay, how many vacation days do these people get? Seriously, a whole lot. Most of them have safe seats because of jerrymandering and in the collusion and corruption between Democrats and Republicans. Okay, we'll give you this predominantly democratic district. You give us this predominantly Republican district, and you can't get rid of any of these people because so often just name recognition gets them re elected doesn't mean they're doing a good job. You know. That's why the case of Eric Cantor being defeated by Dave Bratt was such a big issue, or in the case of I don't you know other there have been a few other high profile cases we're prominent elected officials. You know, I think back, and what what is so infuriating to me is I'm just looking at my simple life, in my world and in my world, in my life which so many of you share the exact same experience, in my parents life and your parents lives, in my grandparents lives and your grandparents lives. My grandparents came here with nothing ten bucks fifteen in one case, twenty five dollars in their pocket. They had no friends, They lived in a horrible conditions, and they worked sixteen hours a day. And then, of course, my father lived through the Depression. My mother lived through the Depression, and that really sucked too for them, and both of them grew up pretty poor. Especially my father was ridiculously poor, and his mom died three months after his born complications due to his his birth. And then so he was shuffled around from family member to family member, but it never stopped his work ethic and my father, you know, would work, and then on weekends he worked at Karl Hoppel's as a waiter. And I'm eight years old and I'm delivering papers and that's how I got my money. And when I'm twelve years old, at the Norwood End in West Hempstead, New York. By this little pond I next to a carvel. I washed dishes every Friday, Saturday night and Sunday. And I did that for over a year until one day one Thanksgiving, the cook walked out and he said, all right, kid, you're the late night chef at thirteen years old, and I'm making you know, stuff shrimp and and stuff lobster and and hamburgers and steaks and French fries. And I'm working like a lunatic because the place was always busy, and uh, you know, I'd get my sat Pauli girl and I'd go home happy as a pig and mud. But I never stopped moving washing dishes. I mean there was no dish washing machine. I did all by hand. When I cooked, you know, it was run, run, sweat and run. I love the sweat of being a chef. For cook, I wasn't really more of a cook than a chef, but I learned how to do shrimps, campy uh fed accheny alfredo, and stuff lobsters, cooking live lobsters. You know, things that are a thirteen year old kid never gets to learn. And I was got pretty good at it and then busting tables. I remember working at the Merry Peddler when I was fourteen fifteen years so, I remember running through the dining room the whole night. The entire night, I'd run through the dining room and cleaning the tables and flipping over the tables. There was a newsday uh critic of restaurant critic that gave it like she once said, it was a restaurant I'd like to own. And after that, the place was swamped with people outside the door the entire night. And I'd get there Friday night at six o'clock and I didn't stop moving until four o'clock in the morning. Because I also had a bar component to the place. It was a pub, and then I became a bartender. And on a busy night, you get in at six and I'm making by hand every banana dockery, every strawberry dockery, every peanut altading machines, margharita, all by hand. And literally, you've got a service bar for an entire restaurant, and you've got a full bar three or four people deep. You move your ass. There's no time to sit around. When I was a contractor and I was a painting contractor, all right, I had to get this house painted by X date or I'm losing money because I had some people working for me, and I'm twenty years old. I was a full time contractor. And then my buddy Andy fee and taught me how to hang wallpaper, and then I became a pretty good wallpaper hanger, not like him, but pretty good. And then i'd then I'd have to do a bathroom in x hours, where I'm losing money. I didn't have time to to sit around and eat lunch and go to dinners. You know. Now occasionally I'll go to dinner, but I mean, I don't even want to him so tired from working half the time, And what's my point in saying in all of this? Or when I'm laying tile, you know how hard it is to lay individual tiles and to float a floor and to float a a bathroom, to get it just so perfect, so it lays down perfectly flat and looks perfect, and you design it perfectly so you don't have a little piece in the corner, but you have it balanced out across the entire either shower or bathroom wherever you happen to be doing it. It's a lot of work. You gotta move. There's there was never any time for lunches. And so I'm looking at Republicans and I'm looking, Okay, eight years ago they started the promise we're gonna repeal and replace Obamacare, and they it's eight years later, Well, we have nine plans, and we're working within the system of getting another plan. Unlike you got to be kidding me. I'm frustrated. Who works like this, who lives like this? All of you imagine in your own lives. I bet you, every single one of you listening to my voice right now identifies with how I work with I identifies how how Jason works, and sweet Baby James works, and Linda and Lauren and Ethan and everybody on my TV show. We don't this is not reality for us that years later you don't have a plan. You gotta be kidding me. There's no excuse for this. And then we've got a president. I'm it's so refreshing, isn't it. And by Donald Trump does something wrong, I will call out Donald Trump and say, wait a minute, that wasn't your promise. But so far we haven't had to. He's moving at the speed of Trump, which is like an executive who's serving the American people, taking off his promises, checking him off his list, and he wants to move. And then you have the obstructionist Democratic Party. They're harassing him. They they won't even give him his cabinet. We still don't have a Health and Human Services secretary. He took till yesterday to get Attorney general sessions in place, and which I think complicated the issue out of the Ninth Circuit. But that's a different story we will get to later in the program. But you know, in in a short period of time, what he eased the burden of the Obamacare regulations and he's moving to repeal and replace, but he said he wants to get it right now. He hasn't been there for eight years like these other people who should have had the bill written ready to go, because that was their promise for so many years. You know, he got us out of t p P, which he promised. He took actions to freeze regulations and he's wiping out regulations day by day, and he wants to get rid of seventy because it's stifling business growth in this country. He put in a government hiring freezer promise. He went forward with no federal funds for abortions abroad. He have five executive actions to move Keystone in the Dakota Access pipelines, issued executive actions on construction. Now the border wall is being designed. He's moving his ass because he builds buildings and you don't have time in the real world to sit around and eat lunch and talk about whatever. And then we know he's he pushing another promise of extreme vetting, that's to keep you safe and not gamble with your life like democrats are willing to do. He's issued an executive action and rebuild the military, which we desperately need. He promised that he would defeat ice US, so within thirty days. Within the first two days of his administration, he issued an executive action. He wanted a plan on his desk in thirty days to defeat isis thirty days. It'll be on his desk in about seven days. He instituted a five year lobbying ban for the administration officials, which is to drain the swamp that doesn't want these guys all capitalizing on their service to their country. And then he followed through on one of the biggest promises which is putting an originalist Neil Gorcut's nominating him for the Supreme Court. And I'm being told, well, we'll get to the economy maybe in the spring or fall. I'm like, I can't take it. It's not how I roll. If the election is as I said that this election was about the forgotten man, forgotten woman in this country. If I'm right about that, what good are we doing? What good are these public service people doing? If literally are waiting to next year or the fall or early summer to get a budget done that is gonna get rid of regulations, lower the corporate tax rate to go seven brackets to three brackets. What's so freaking hard about this? To to allow multinational corporations to repatriate not billions, but trillions that they'll invest in the country, maybe further incentivize them so they invest in Detroit and Milwaukee and Cleveland and Philly, the cities that needed the most, that have been hurt the most under the Obama years. What's so hard about that? Why does this have to take all these months when you can do it now? You know, finally we've got an education secretary. Maybe she'll move forward with choice and education for people, and then of course the wall is being designed. Thankfully, Promises made, promises kept, and I'm just wondering. I just don't understand it. I don't I don't have the patience. There's not one of these people that could work for me and survive, Linda, Am I right about this? Just tell people, could any of these people in Washington survive working on the show? No, not one, Well, Louie Gohmer could. I would say them the Freedom Caucus guys, they're the only guys that want to move. They're the only ones that have our sense of urgency, the only ones that I know. And all I'm saying is do the job. You're this You're supposed to be public servants. Get off your ass, get off your backside, and get to work and start moving, not at the speed of Washington, but at the speed of Trump. Gonna have a lot more about this tonight in my opening monologue on Hannaday Tenny Eastern on the Fox News Channel. Yeah, term limits would help too. Maybe, you know, could you imagine me in the Congress, I'd be screaming every day and I could. I would actually like to see you battle with Senator Warren think that would be really interesting. I wouldn't have time for her. I would ignore everything she says and does. Who has time for that crap? Alright, So I have insomnia, but I've never slept better. And what's changed just a pillow.

The Court finds that, for purposes of the entry of the temporary straining Order, that the state has met its burden of demonstrating that it faces immediate and irreparable injury as a result of the signing and implementation of the executive order. I find that the state has satisfied the test that it is likely to succeed on the merits of the claim, which would entitle them to relief. I find that the balance of equities favor the States, and lastly, I find that a temporary restraining order is in the public interest. If I were to apply the Nine Circuits alternative test um, I would find that the States have established a question, a serious question, going to the merits, and that the balance of equities tips sharply in their favor. Pass such, I find that the Court should and will grant the temporary restraining order. Well, let me ask about the called just religious discrimination claim to reach both the equal protection and Establishment clause claims. And I'm not entirely persuaded by the argument, if only because the seven countries encompass only I think a relatively small percentage of Muslims. I mean, do you have any information as to what percentage or what proportion of the adherence to Islam worldwide are our citizens or residents of those countries? My quick penciling suggested something less than fi I have not done that that, but given that all those countries are countries that have been previously tagged as subjects of concern about terrorism. Granted it's because of perhaps radical islam sex, so there might be a religious motivation behind the terrorism. But I have trouble understanding why we're supposed to infer religious animus when in act the vast majority of Muslims would not be affected as residents of those nations, and where the concern for terrorism with those connected with radical Islamic sex is kind of hard to deny. You're the key spot from this court, and the Spreme Court is very clear that to prove religious discrimination, we do not need to prove that this were harms only Muslims or that it harms every Muslim. We just need to prove that it was motivated in part by a desire to harm Muslims, and we have all that you infer that desire if in fact the vast majority of Muslims are unaffected, well you aren't. In part, you can infer it from intent evidence. I mean, there are statements that we've quoted in our complaint, uh that are rather shocking evidence of intent to discriminate against Muslims, given that we haven't even had any discovery yet. All right, it comes down to the fundamental question. You first heard activists Justice, you know, and Culture at a great column about us today. A maniac is running our foreign policy and it's not Trump. If only we were able to deport citizens, we could use Trump's new policy of excluding those who are hostile towards our country to get rid of Judge Robart. You know. For me, it's always been a very very simple equation. On the legal side of this, you have the issue does the president have the legal authority to do what he did? And the answer is one yes. The code is simple. The code is, whenever the President finds that entry of any aliens or any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may buy proclamation and for such period as he shall deem necessary suspend the entry of all aliens, any class of aliens, as immigrants non immigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem appropriate. And by the way, if you look at the last five presidents, Ronald Reagan did this five times, in other words, executive authority to exclude aliens. In other words, the law that I just read you eight US two, which was cited in in the hearing. And you have George Herbert Walker Bush one time, Bill Clinton twelve times, George W. Bush six times, in Obama nineteen times, nineteen times, including you could argue, by definition of the media, a religious litmus test or a Muslim band, which was never true, and it is just part of a media lie that is advancing forward. But the question is fundamental and it's simple. Does the president have the authority? Yes? The second question is if he has the authority, which he clearly does, then is he what is his decision here that after Obama and Congress and he have deemed these seven nations to be hotbeds of terrorism and terroristic training camps, that it is in the best interest of the United States to vet those people that we are generously allowing access to our country to go through a little inconvenience of vetting for the greater good and say, if the insecurity of citizens that do have constitutional rights and fundamentally that's it. And the issue before the court is, did the judge in this case Robarton in Seattle and talking about the Ninth Circuit, do they go beyond what their authority and powers are? And the answer to that is clear. Christian Adams is with us. He's the president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, editor of PJ Media. And Hans von Spakovsky is with us, senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation. Han's good to talk to you, my friend. I'm a big fan follow your writings often with the Heritage Foundation and find you extremely bright and interesting. Well, thank you, John, I appreciate that. Tell me your take on it. And if I'm I'm wrong on any point here, no, in fact, you're you're you'd make a better judge than the judge out in Washington State. Listen, in his entire six pages of his order granting an injunction, never once does he mentioned the statute that you just talked about, which is the relevant stat at the executive order itself says this is what it's based on. And while that order has been getting all of the media attention, uh, the media has not been covering the fact that on the very same day that the Washington State judge issued that injunction, a judge in Massachusetts and none in an almost identical case, we're a few to an injunction. Why because he said that statute provides the president with all the authority he needs to do exactly what he did, So that that judge in in in Washington is acting far beyond his power and in fact, isn't following the rule of law, you know, And can't we take it, hansa step further. I mean, isn't the first and main role of a president to serve as the commander in chief of the country? Oh? Oh, absolutely? And and look, the Supreme Court itself has said the zenis of the government's power is at the border, when it decides who and what is allowed into the country. That that is where its power is at its strongest. And that's why it's just ridiculous that a federal judge is is stopping this and substituting his judgment or the judgment of the president on on a matter that affects the national security and foreign policy of the United States. Agreed, well said Christian adoms your thoughts, Sean, there is no constitutional right for an alien to enter the United States. The Constitution gives Congress absolute authority on this point, and Congress has delegated that authority to the President in absolute terms. I mean, this shows what happens when an out of controlled judiciary is matched with an out of control left wing legal apparatus that brings lawsuits to basically make America less safe over and over again. It's a dangerous situation. Trump was right, he had the power to do it. The courts are not acting in the interest of the American people. You know, I want to You just said something very deep and prof sound and a point that I've been trying to make, and I think you said it in a much better way than I have. And what I've been doing is I've been pointing out this finding by the Washington Free Beacon, which I thought was a great catch on their part, and that is that there was a big meeting with David Brock and all these big Democratic donors at a swanky resort in Florida, and they were mapping out how to kick Donald Trump's ask their words, not mine. Anyway, they attended the retreat and they came up with Democracy Matters, a strategic plan of action, and it outlines and contains information how to defeat Trump through impeachment and win the midterm elections in eighteen and quote file lawsuits, filing lawsuits against the Trump administration. Now you talk about this partnership. You have a left wing judiciary and you have a left wing activists group of people that are out judge shopping and correct me if you disagree with this. I believe that Seattle was not by accident. I think the Ninth Circuit is not by accident, that it's all by design, and I think we could probably expect a lot of Ninth Circuit states to be the states where lawsuits are filed. Well, that's right, that's right, John. The left, the sorrow splended left, has used the courts as a political tool when they can't win elections. They send high paid lawyers, often with the help of big law firms doing it for free, to the to the courts to get their policies enacted. The most Americans disagree with if you read anything about this judge, anything at all about his biography, you know that he was the perfect draw for the open borders crowd to get it. You mean, the guy that cited Black Lives Matter, the group that said, what do we want dead cops? When don't we want them now? And pigs on a blanket from like Bacon, the guy that cited them. That's exactly right. You forum shop for the right judge and you get your radical open borders policy adopted despite the will of Congress, the will of the American people, and the proper order of the president. Let me go to the issue. Go ahead, Christians shot. I just should say, look, you're absolutely right that they're going to use the courts, because remember California recently announced that the state was hiring who Eric Holder, the former attorney general, to lead the fight against the Trump administration on everything from immigration elsewhere. Look, they have a state attorney General's office with forty five hundred employees, including a many lawyers, and yet they're spending a fortune to hire Eric Holder to litigate against the Trump administration. Well, let me just you know, I want to deal with the dishonesty of the media, fake news. This you know, Chuck Todd saying that this is a religious test, and and so many people reporting that this is a Muslim ban, and it even came up in arguments, and even the Ninth Circuit judge in this case, which is known for its liberal advocacy in judicial activism, even he said, by my own estimation of the world's Muslims are not included here. For example, Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangaladdesh with a hundred and fifty six point one million Muslims Burned i U EGYP ninety four point six millions, Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim majority population a two hundred and fifty eight point three million Muslims, Jordans, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, Moli, Morocco, Niger, Oman Cutter Pakistan with two hundred and one point nine million muslim Saudi Arabia, Senegal, and I can keep going. And yet the media constantly, repetitively, so dishonestly reports it at Easer either a religious litmus test or be a Muslim ban. That is, that is that is true, Sean, but it looks it's even worse than that. If you read the executive order, there's a paragraph in it in which the President says priority will be given to any individuals who are being persecuted because of their religious beliefs and they are a religious minority in whatever country they are in. Notice that that is totally neutral with respect to religions and is pure common sense. If you're gonna be perfect, Christian, hang hang on to that thought. I'll get right back to when we get back. I hope you understanding through the constraints of time here. And then we have Hans is going to stay over with us as well, bringing jobs back to America and getting America back door. This is Sean Ali Show. Right as we continue, we've got Christian Adams, President of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, editor of PJ Media. Hans von Spakovsky is with a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation. Christian, I had to interrupt you mid sentence. I apologize. Pick it up from where you were. Look. This is obviously a product of the institutional left hatred of anybody who wants to keep America safe. They have the courts in their pocket. They have ABC, NBC, CBS, the Washington Post, The New York Times. All of these organizations have no credibility. There are a tool of the institutional left. They'll say anything that hurts conservative constitutionalists. It's what they do. They don't even tend to be non partial. They're all in. And what we have now is a president who's under attacked by these tools, and just for protected country. That's what makes it particularly sittening that you know, I said, and I know I've got brushback on this, but if anybody comes in in this interim period where where you have the legal zan culture I think rightly described today a maniac could judge has no constitutional authority running our foreign policy. If anyone comes in from any of these seven countries that could have been vetted and they end up killing Americans, I'm sorry. The Democrats and all these judges and everybody involved will have blood on their hands. Hans. Is that accurate? Oh? Oh, it sure is. And look we can we can. We have a specific instance of a failure of vetting that resulted and more than a dozen Americans killed, and that's the San Bernardino terrorist attacks, the the Arab man and his wife. The obomasuration had a policy of not checking Facebook social media on people they were letting in. They let the wife in, she participated in this terrorist murder street and if they had checked her social media she it was phil of je hottest propaganda and warnings and that Hans. Isn't it even worse than that? I've seen a list of I think seventies some odd people. I don't have the exact number of foreign nationals. And then the judge Robart in the Seattle case where this originated, just said, I've heard of nothing since nine eleven. Can you name of an instance? They've got seventy six foreign nationals that we were able to name and identify that in fact have been involved in these types of crimes? Correct, That is exactly right. It's pretty scary, all right. So the bottom line here is, you know, does it not put into full focus the importance of Neil Gorsch Christian and what did you make a Bloomenthall saying that Gorc was critical of Donald Trump, who nominated him to the Supreme Court, for being critical of the judicial Jerry It was hearsay bluemin Fall said something gorcis. We don't know whether or not he said, and he probably didn't. We we know that CNN and ABC and everybody else repeated the lie, the hearsay about what Gorsy said. But Seawan, it shows you how important the Supreme Court is to everything. Our borders are integrative of our elections, how we relate to the federal government, our Second Amendment rights. The Supreme Court is the whole ballgame. And that's why Trump, among other reasons, won the White House because Americans understand the threat to liberty and the role of five justices play in possessing it. Last question is I'm running out of time, Hans. Are you confident Neil Gorci is the originalists like Scalia that we've been told he is, Well, if you base it on the prior opinions he's written in the more than ten years that he's been a Court of Appeals judge, he would seem to be. Hopefully he will be one of those Republican judges who uh moves to the left when they get on the bench, which unfortunately, as you know, has been a problem. Listen, John Roberts, Well, he's not as bad as David Suitor. But you're right, all right. I guess you never do know right until they get there. But it seems on paper. You're right, Um, thank you both for being well. Us appreciate it when we come back. Is the best, the brightest, the smartest guy when it comes to America and its path towards energy and dependence in the country. John Hoffmeister, he's the former cel of Shell Oil. He'll join us next and then our news round up information overload our In just eight years, we've had our dependence on porn oil, we doubled our renewable energy. We've led the world to an agreement that has the promise to save this planet. But without bolder action, our children won't have time to debate the existence of climate change. They'll be busy dealing with its effects, more environmental disasters, more economic disruptions, waves of climate refugees seeking sanctuary. This is with regard to the construction of the Keystone pipeline, something that's been in dispute and it's subject to a renegotiation of terms by us. We're going to renegotiate some of the terms and if they'd like, we'll see if we can get the pipeline built. A lot of jobs, twenty eight thousand jobs, great construction jobs. Okay, Keystone pipeline. This is with respect to the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline Dakota Excess pypelice, again subject to terms and conditions to be negotiated by US. Okay, this is construction of pipelines in this country. We are and I am very insistent, if we're going to build pipelines in the United States, the pipes should be made in the United States. So unless there's difficulty with that, because companies are gonna have to sty gear up much pipeline has bought from other countries. From now on, we're gonna start making pipeline in the United States. We build it in the United States. We build the pipelines. We want to build the pipe. Gonna put a lot of workers, a lot of steel workers back to work. Okay, we will build our own pipeline. We will build our own pipes. That's what it has to do with like we used to in the old days. Al Right, twenty four Now till the top of the hour, Sean Hannity, show our toll free telephone number. We'll get to coming up shortly, one Sean, if you want to be a part of the program. Now there's President Obama claiming, oh, we've cut our dependence on far in oil and half and we've moved on to green energy. And all I can think of is all the wasted money quote stimulus money, the billions and billions and billions of crony dollars that went to companies like Clinger and everybody else. And then of course real action, not talk. Keystone pipeline moves forward, the Dakota pipeline moves forward, and of course the President, I think, very very smartly and very cleverly saying that, yeah, let's let's make the pipe here in America anyway, joining us now. He is probably the smartest guy on the issue of energy and the move towards energy and dependence in the country. And he was featured in the movie Pump. He's the former CEO of Shell Oil and founder of the group Citizens for Affordable Energy. John Hoffmeister is back with us. How are you so good to talk to you? Doing fine? Sehn? Thank you for the opportunity. Is it really true that you took till November six to figure out who you're voting for? A little Bertie told me, I gave it the full scope and scale of the electoral process, big important decision and the country hinged on I think to vote, and I did take the entire time because I wanted to fully let both candidates make sure I could do what my conscience told me I should do well. And you voted for Donald Trump? Obviously? Did the president voted? Yes? I voted for Donald Trump. After how you agon How could you agonize over that decision knowing what Trump was saying about energy and knowing that Hillary was going to be worse than Obama. Well, there's a long history to the Clintons and energy, and I was in part relying upon that long history rather than on the rhetoric of the heated campaign trail. But in the end, I decided on Donald Trump, and I'm glad I did. Right. Let me ask you this, did President Obama tell us the truth when he said we have half our dependence on farn oil? Or is that like him lying about creating jobs and creating a perception with lower, lower unemployment numbers that he did such a great job creating jobs when we have the lowest labor participation rate and more Americans out of work since the nineties seventies, and we have thirteen million more Americans on food stamps and eight million more Americans in poverty. He lied about the economy. Was he lying about energy? In the pre shale days, Sean, this is before the shale revolution took over, the United States of America was down to nearly below six million barrels of production per day of domestic oil in a country that needs about eighteen million. With the shale formations, And I will tell you Barack Obama did absolutely nothing nothing. His administration did nothing to help the shale transformation. That was industry lad and it was state led states like North Dakota, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado. The state agencies were the ones who did all the work. And the e p A, the National e p A, and the National Energy Department and others did nothing. But we have moved from less than six million barrels per day production, we moved as high as nine point two million barrels per day domestic production. So yes, technically his statistic is correct, and for him to take credit for it is the the ultimate in hypocrisy because he did nothing to support it. I went to the White House. I tried to talk to the people at the White House about shale and about domestic drilling. I was shut down. Every time I tried, well, we did have a revolution, and in you and I both worked at trying to help put people together with jobs in North Dakota and in Texas and an Oklahoma, and we had a lot of success. Am I right in my theory that OPEC and the Saudis in particular purposely drove down the price of a barrel of oil for the distinct purpose of driving American companies out of business. I think it's more nuanced than that. And you you made and let me just explain it this way. The Saudias were grossly distressed by the United States and its lack of support for Saudi Arabia in the Middle East. From Franklin Roosevelt in World War Two all the way to George W. Bush, there was an agreement between the Saudis and the Americans, will produce our oil, you'll have our back. Well, during the Obama years, Obama demonstrated he did not have their back. They were on their own. So I would say the stronger reason for why the Saudis did create a man made drop in the price of the oil was more to do damage to Iran and to Russia than to the United States. But the US You're right, was a victim of circumstance. The US shale production was mightily harmed by the geopolitical decision of Saudi Arabia to take on Iran and to take on Russia because the US walked away from Saudi Arabia. And yes, we were collateral damage, serious collateral damage. Half a million lost jobs, and you know, billions of dollars not spent in this country that otherwise would have been spent. But I think the real reason was fighting Iran and fighting Russia economically, which ultimately did impact the US negatively. You know, I agree with that. You see, I think America's commitment to energy independence has to move forward regardless of what the price of a barrel of oil may drop too, because I think that would be that type of manipulation happens for all sorts of reasons. Your theory fascinates me. I still think it was more directed at the US that maybe you do. But it's to me, it's it's neither here nor there. It became a reality. Here's what your question to you, Right, You're absolutely right when you say we have got to become invulnerable to the global oil price, and we can if we're determined to do so. Well, that's my main focus. Now. The price of a barrel of oil at to look at what it was today, But what is it in the fifty dollar range? Now change? Yeah? All right? So and what was the low? What did a drop to twentysomething? Okay? And so I would have been a good time, I guess to buy at that point. And I knew it, but I didn't have the guts to do it. Um. But the next thing, though, is I don't trust the stock market. I don't don't trust commodities. I just have I have such a disdain for for all these markets and all the manipulation goes on, and I always feel that we the consumers, are always the last ones in, and we always get out at the wrong time, and people that think they can play the system lose. So here's what I want to ask you. If Donald Trump is committed, with the price of oil where it is today, to energy independence for this country for national security reasons and for the creation of jobs, knowing that that energy is the lifeblood of any economy, especially our economy, how long would it take. I think it would take about a decade, A clear decade, because here's the reason we can produce more oil. But I think this country would max out on oil production at about twelve million barrels a day just not just because of the risks associated and the fact that you just can't you you've got to manage production over time or you destroy the credibility of your reservoirs. You just can't overproduce. Uh And and so twelve million is probably a sweet spot. But here's here's where we get the other six to seven million barrels a day equivalent natural gas as an alternative fuel for internal combustion engines that will do it. And that's what would take the extra time for the infrastructure to be built, which is why I say ten years, because we would need the natural gas fields to be developed, we would need the pipelines to be built, we would need refinery systems for converting natural gas to ethanol and methanol and compress natural gas and liquefied natural gas. And we would have to build more cars that are capable of using natural gas as well as oil. But the version of the combustion engine. I know this from my my time as a contractor in the eighties when I lived in Rhode Island five years John, And when I lived there, I actually purchased a Providence Gas Company old van and it was the best purchase I ever made, at like seventy some one thousand miles. Had a little bit of body damage and ended up fixing most of it, and but it was converted for all the time, the Providence Gas Company had it into a gas running engine, which is cleaner than than fossil fuels, which is cleaner than gasoline and better with emissions. And when what they did is when they would finally sell the vans, they would convert it back to gasoline. Because you can't get enough natural gas to to fill your tank obviously, So if they had the technology back in the eighties and I had that truck, that means the engine doesn't really need to change much, does it. No, it doesn't. The engine is really it's really the fueling system and the firing system that is that needs to change. The compression engine itself, the internal combustion engine itself doesn't really care what it's firing on. It's just as long as it's flammable and you can stay right there. That's want I want to pick up on that point. And I don't mean to rush it through here, but pop the next our final round up and information overload our all right, as we continue. John Hoffmeister as well us. He was featured in the movie Pump. The was the former cel of Shot Oil, and he recognizes as I do, the number of jobs that can be created by becoming an energy independent country. He thinks we could do it in ten years. I'm hopeful we can do it in less than that. And when we are left, just a moment ago, we were talking about converting the combustion engine to run on natural gas. And we are the Middle East of natural gas. We have hundreds of years of supplies. Correct me if I'm wrong, Mr Halfmeister, isn't about that much? Yes, we have plenty of natural gas for Decadian expenses, and it's and it's clean burning. Correct. Yes, it's half the pollution of gasoline. And it's very easy to convert a car that runs on gasoline to switch it over to natural gas and do it safely. Well. In fact, most modern built cars actually have the capability already built. In the movie Pump describes how the fueling system and the software that controls the firing system are already equipped because in China and in Brazil, the very same companies GM Board, etcetera. Are making cars that have to be ethanol compatible. And so it's just a matter of software adjustment and and the and so the cars the car is ready made and want to make that won't because it's cleaner burning. Isn't the likelihood of repairs? In other words, don't you reduce the likelihood of the need for repairs within the engine because of the way the natural gas functions versus traditional gasoline? In principle, yes, it's a cleaner burn. It's a hotter burn because you're burning ethanol high octane alcohol fuel, which is a cleaner burn because of the high octane, and nobody ending upon the driver if the driver is a good driver. Yes, that engine should get additional life lifespan. You know, my friend was the Inventor of the Year a few years back, Keith Koowski, and he has this company called flame Spray, and he actually sprays the core of these engines so they can run at that hotter, hotter temperature that you're talking about. All right, last question, what happened when your movie Pump came out and you were advancing this notion about natural gas. You had a lot of pushback from people what happened. Well, we're still you know, the movie is still out. It's a wonderful movie. You can get it off a Netflix. And it is really describing fuel choice where you can have in addition to gasoline or diesel, you could also have natural gas in different ways ethanol, methanol, c etcetera, and or hydrogen or electric battery. Your your choice. Driver, consumer win, consumer choice. But the pushback comes from the auto industry in part, and it comes from the oil industry in part because guess what. They don't like the competition and the right now we're oil are nearly undercent oil products for gasoline and diesel, and so they don't like the idea of a competition. But I say, I'm an oil man. Guess which companies produce natural gas? Oil companies? And I have to run. I hope you get an audience with the President, because I think you'd be as fascinated as I am to learn from you all that you know and all the knowledge of accumulated. When we come back, news Round of Information Overload, the other topics, news of the day, and our top story of course, the ninth circuit and the whole vetting of refugees and how necessary it is for the country straight ahead. Yeah, yeah, So we want to help you realize these goals by rolling back burdensome regulations and new people are regulated probably as much as almost anybody, or I can think of a couple of industries that are even worse. Lowering the overall tax burden and American businesses big league. That's coming along very well, and we're way ahead of schedule, I believe, and we're going to be announcing something I would say over the next two or three weeks that will be phenomenal in terms of tax I just want to introduce Brian Kuzanna, who's the CEO of Intel, a great, great company, and Brian called a few weeks ago and said, we want to do a very big announcement having to do with our country, but also having to do mostly with Arizona and the jobs and the great technology that will be produced. So this is Brian, and Brian, what did you say a few words and maybe also talk about the product you're gonna be making. It's amazing, because thank you, Mr President. From this it's an honor to be here today representing Intel, and to be able to announce our seven billion dollar investments in our newest, most advanced factory, FAB forty two in Chandler, Arizona, that will be completing that factory to make the most advanced seven nimeter semiconductor chips on the planet. Intel is very proud of the fact that the majority of our manufacturing is here in the US, and the majority of our research and development is here in the US, while over of what we sell is sold outside of the US. They were consistently one of the top five exporters in the country and one of the top two research and development spenders in the United States. And we've been able to do that even while the regulatory and tax policy disadvantaged us in the past relative to the competition we have across the world. And FAT forty two is an investment in Intel, but also the US is future in innovation and leadership in the semi connector industry. And FAT forty two will employ approximately three thousand direct, high paying, high wage high tech jobs at its peak, and over ten thousand people in the Arizona area in support of the factory. And this factory will produce, as I said, the most powerful computer chips on the planet, powering the best computers, the best data centers, autonomous cars, all of these devices are the most powerful computing devices on the planet. And an Intel we have a simple saying. It says, while other people predict the future, we build the future. Seven billion dollars going to be invested. You notice how all of these companies go back to Carrier, go to Ford, go to Fiat Chrysler, go to the Ali Baba company, go to this guy from China that's going to invest and wants to create millions of American jobs. All of these companies, they're loving meeting with the president and president announcing we're staying we're not gonna build in Mexico, We're gonna build here. We appreciate the regulations that you're gonna take away. We appreciate the fact you're gonna go with the corporate tax rate. We like the environment that you say you're going to create. And Donald Trump is keeping his promises. I mean, I've never seen, nor has anybody else seen, or Democrats won't admit it, but it's just a reality of truth and a fact. This president is moving at the speed of light. He's moving as executives move in the real world. He's making decisions like all of us make every day, without going through the painful process of a bureaucracy. And of course, in the case of Democrats like Chucky Schumer, the cry baby obstructionists that don't want this president, it into succeed. You know what the greatest fear of Democrats is now that Trump is going to be successful, that Trump is going to keep his promises. Think of where we are now. He ordered immediately the the easing of burdens, the burdens of Obama Care and is in the process of working towards repealing and replacing. And as he said, he's only going to do it when he gets it right. That might take longer, you know. Or taking action to freeze pending regulations and looking to reduce regulations by s or higher keeping a promise to withdraw the U S from TPP, keeping a promise to put a federal government hiring freeze in place, keeping a promise that no federal tax dollars will provide abortions abroad, keeping a promise on energy, and five executive actions advancing Keystone and Dakota Access pipelines, keeping a promise and issuing executive actions, and now we are in the design phase, in the beginning of the construction of the border wall, with so many even Republicans all he's never going to build that wall. Oh, it's it's being built. Or his actions on extreme vetting, which we're now we've been fighting in the courts and discussing in detail, you know, also issuing executive action on rebuilding the military. Another campaign promise issuing executive action on a plan to defeat isis that will be on his desk in about ten days from now. Instituting a five year lobbying band to drain the swamp. Another campaign promise appointing an originalist to the Supreme Court from the very list he gave us before the election, Neil Gorsuch to the Court. Now, the only thing that is missing in all of this is getting the Congress to get off their backsides and move forward anyway, joining us now to discuss Terry Jefferies, Editor in chief of CNS News, Chris Han of the ever expanding Chris Han Show for one hour a week on Thursdays and has three affiliates two hours a week, two hours a week and has three affiliates nationwide and it's going gangbusters up to five affiliates. Yet I'm up there. Yeah, I'm doing some bigger stops shown. I just I don't want to talk about this show and some of your competitors. But wow, I'm sure there's a big trade secrets here that you're about to give out. But we appreciate it's you do have a good send, even Terry Jefferies cracking up. But Terry, I mean, I know that there were these never Trump for people, and so I got so disgusted with them during the election. I just stopped talking about them, you know. And I look at everything the President said he would do, he's doing, and he's moving at this. We'll call it the speed of Trump, a little shock and all for d C. And the only thing that's frustrating me is how pathetically lame and slow Republicans are in d C. Yeah, I agree with you, Sean. I think, first of all, the President Trump is doing an outstanding job. He is sticking by his campaign promises, which are great promises, and if he is able to follow us through on them, he will be a great president. And to do that he needs the cooperation of the Republicans and Congress they've got to be as tough as he is. They got to fight for the things he's fighting for. And you know, some of the things you've talked about, these are dealing with long term negative trends. We've seen in the United States of America that President Trump is going to try and verse, for example, with that Intel clip your plan, and they're going to invest money in Arizona and great jobs in Arizona, and they're gonna export products from the United States and other countries. We just found out that when President Trump took office, we had completed forty one straight years of trade deficits. And you've got the data published by the Census Bureau, correct and Sean. During that same time, when we had forty one straight years of trade deficits, what was happening to the middle class and working class in America. We were losing manufacturing jobs. We got to the point where more people were working more than nine million more people are working for government than working for manufacturing. And the median income of people who graduated from high school but didn't go to college was declining in real terms. So and they were also being hurt by the fact that illegal alien labor was coming into the United States and undercutting their wages, as as well as US corporations bringing their manufacturing overseas and hiring labor over there. So President Trump is working on reversing those major trends. We need them reverse. The Republican Congress sieves to support him in doing that. Job. Got to correct all the problems that Reagan caused back in the eighties. Basically, we really got to go. Is this where you want to go? Because Reagan created let me give you the numbers. Because Reagan created twenty one million new jobs, new jobs. Reagan gave us the longest period of peacetime economic growth in history, some quarters as high as eight and nine percent GDP growth. Obama never hit hit in any year, the only president in history never to hit three percent GDP growth. Ever, Reagan doubled the revenue to the federal government. So, you know, let's cut your nonsense here and let's get to the facts and the issues today. Even you should be inspired by Donald Trump's you know, cutting through the BS bureaucracy and keeping his promises. So he mentioned the trade deficit which took off during Reagan. We all know that. And when Reagan created those jobs, most of them were government jobs because he tripled the size of government, tripled the size of the debt. And yeah, these are these are laughing problems that have been compounded by future president. You know that's that's not true. I mean, if you look at the actual data, the trade deficits are bigger now. The manufacturing element of the trade deaths, that is bigger than now. As Sean pointed out, we just had the first president in recorded history who never saw a year three percent growth. We've had eleven years, a record eleven years in which the U. S economy has not grown by as much as three percent. Ronald Reagan did much more than that in many years, and he had to work with a Democratic House representatives every single year he was in office, and he had to go to the American people and defeat a Democratic House representatives to get his policies in place, including the policies, by the way, that won the Cold War during that period. We no longer face the Cold War. There isn't a favorite union looking to hegeminize the entire world. But we have these problems that President Trump is going to face, and he has a Republican Congress. So the real issue now as Sean pointed out, is all the Republicans and Congress can have the moral courage to do the things that need to be done that President Trump is trying to do that will reverse these long term trends in American society that are not traceable to Ronald Reagan. I wonder how Reagan would feel about his policies towards Rush. I just wonder. I I don't think he'd be too happy with them. Ronald Reagan, by the way, Ronald Reagan went to the Berlin Wall and he said Mr Gorbachev tear down this wall because he believed it was possible that he could appeal to the conscious even of Gorbachev to actually roll back from the Soviet designs are not only controlling Europe, but in controlling the entire planet. Reagan had diplomatic relations with the Saviet Chingion the entire time he was president, as did every single other post where never capitulated to the Soviet Union, which is what it appearing to be happening. Now. We beat the Savy Chunion, Trump isn't dealing with I hear uh, I agree with you that he beat the Soviet Union. He didn't capitulate to the Soviet Union. He was what do you think think about Barack Obama trying to make a feel trade deal with commun of Vietnam? Are you in favor of that? He didn't feel that the Soviet Union or Russia as it is today had the moral equivalency of what we do in this United States of America. So I think Rag will be very disappointed with some of the things he's heard over the last couple of weeks. Fine, I don't think that Donald Trump thinks the Russians are the Russian regime is some moral equivalent United States of America. That's what exactly what he said. It's exactly what he said on Super Bowl Sunday. Maybe you don't watch football, but he did. He did say that on the Super Bowl. So right there, we gotta take a break. We'll come back. I'll let you guys finish this on the other side of the break. Eight hundred Dying for One. Sean is our toll free telephone number. You want to be a part of the program, We'll get to your calls at the bottom of the album. Fighting the Trumpatan Liberal media. One Day edit time sew on the Handity Show, Run the band. They're trying to block the at least you're stopping. This is wrong from down, down down? What are you? What do you do? All right? That was from earlier today. We'll get into this more at the bottom of the hour. And protesters in literally trying to stop at law enforcement vans from leaving a US immigration office and Phoenix is more of the snowflake superstorm. Chris, I'm sure you're proud of them. I'm sure you're proud of Madonna and Ashley Judd and Ashton Kutcher and Meryl Streep and even Chucky Schumer that said and cried on TV, even though he himself supported banning Iraqis from coming into America in a year ago, said he didn't have a problem with a temporary band, and he called the president an American. I think even you have to be a little disgusted by your own fringe in your party. I'm not discussed at all. I think that what we're seeing here reminds me of what we saw in two thousand and nine, except for there's a lot more people involved in it, and they are actually using real facts and not alternative facts to make their protests known. So I think this is a great thing. I think that conservatives are going to try to paint this is something nefarious, which is what you're doing in this clip. But I think there's something nefarious. Do you think a woman that is do you think a woman that's here in the country illegally that is guilty of identity theft which can ruin people's lives for years, should be deported. I have no problem with deporting people who yeah, right? And And why did Chuck Schumer in support a temporary ban on refugees? And why now does he say it's on America? Is that politics? Chris ban that he supported a temporary ban in he supported Obama's ban of Iraqis for six months, and now he says it's on America? Is he a hypocrite? Real facts on Is he a mask? Is he a hypocrite? No, he is absolutely not. Because you're comparing an apple to an a ban. As a band, he said he supported a temporary ban of refugees, there was a real situation going on with specific types of people that were banned in that in that band, Let me ask Terry Jeffrey. Is Chuck Schumer the cry baby the biggest hypocrite in Congress? He's one of the biggest hypocrites. There's so many big hypocrites over there, Sean, if the heart is de German, who's the biggest, that he may be the biggest in a senior position of the United States Senate right now. And I'll tell you another element of the hypocrisy is we have the Islamic State perpetrating genocide against Christians and other religious minorities in Syria and also in that part of Iraq they control. And yes, they cornered the United States Senate into unanimously agreeing that that was the case last year. And now you have President Trump put out executive order that says, if you are a member of a persecuted religious minority and you want to get priority in getting refugee status to the United States. And one of these liberals come out and say, they say this bias against Muslims. The fact of the matter is, if you're a Shia Muslim being targeted by Islamic State in Syria, you would qualify under Trump's order. But so too with Catholics and Orthodox Christians, who apparently these democrats do not want to help. Says, we know that the refugees coming into the country under Obama were Muslims. All right, we gotta leave it there. When we come back, your calls are straight ahead. They're going to treat people shot down, shut head down, shut head count shut, hit down, head down. What do you don't hand up and your community and under? What do you do when you're human rights are under town? What do you do? See? How am I say it up and see? Hello? Oh need how by saying op and see? No deationeration, departation, demorational deportation, departation, deportation? All right, that's the standoff at the ICE office in Phoenix, protesters blocking the deportation of an illegal immigrant. Now what do we know about the illegal immigrant? Well, you know the person is being deported, but why what does the woman do? As I've been telling you, police made several arrests of protesters were blocking the enforcement vans from leaving the immigran Ration Office and Phoenix, fearing that a mother of two was headed for deportation, and the protests surged at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Facility UH when Guadalupe Garcia de Rios was taken into custody during a routine check in with the agency. According to media, reports. The activist said it was an attempt by President Donald Trump to deport immigrants living in the country illegally. Now fearing that she would return to Mexico, they went and blocked the gates. But what they're not telling you here, and I think they probably should, is the woman was convicted of identity theft. Do you know how awful identity theft is? Why is LifeLock one of our main sponsors. Why do they do so well? Because identity theft is America's fastest growing crime. Go to LifeLock dot com. You lose your identity, people become you. They literally rob you blind, they use your credit cards, they can rob your retirement accounts, your bank accounts, your life savings, and then getting your good name back is next to impossible. I know people that have spent years and years trying to fix the damage because of identity theft. Anyway, let's get back to our busy telephones here as we say hi to Joe Is in Brookhaven, New York. Joe, how are you? And we're glad you called sir. Thank you, Mr Hanny. It's a on. Uh yeah, I want to talk about Senator Schuma. Uh, I am so MORTI funed embarrassed that he's my representative. But you see, you're like me. I live in New York and by the way, you're more you have more of a New York accent than even Linda. Let's talk about it, Linda. Let's get some And you think I grew up without the town's parents. Well, that's right, I grew up to don't worries, brother, I love it, that's fine. I love all accents. Actually, me and my wife were watching it and he's crying. I couldn't believe it. They're cutting heads off over there. They're killing the Christians and murdering the terrorists. The terrorists watching this, and this guy's crying. How can I say, we'll see I'm allowed to say on the air, you can, yeah, you can say whatever you want, all right, But this man, they're using the word on hinged between him and Elizabeth Warren and that Corey Booker. But we won't even go there. But what about our military over there? Let's watching this. You imagine how these commandum my rings out there in army. They're oversee and this is what they're shaying from the representative back. He's crying over a couple of refugees. I am so proud of Mr Trump. Let Mr Trump know that the sixty one million or whatever that voted for him, we're all. We're still here. We haven't gone anyway. Don't worry Mr Trump. Chiefs stopping him. Thank god Mr Sessions is in. Uh, let's let's keep them out. He's doing a great job this. Uh he's so hin. Then I see him. Then we're watching it again and a couple of nights. You gotta understand, we're like political orphans. We don't have representation. And what a phony hip, what a phony hipocrite standard. I'm sorry to interrupt, but Lisa Olden Congressman and Eldan he's got our backs. He actually wrote me a letter back when I told him about this sc My friend told me, we're in a sanctuary county. Stuff in what and DeMarco to share it just changed it in the semi because I called the Brooke Caven town Hall. I quoted, they said, oh, you've got to call the uh uh the So I called up to the Governor's office and I got the representative. Then she goes, well you have to put it in writings shah for a response, I said, you tell me we're sanctuary. He wants a sanctuary state. She says, well, you know his feelings. I said, are you kidding me? So? I want to know something. Where is the money going from these refugees? Sean three hundred thirty millies? Let me finish your point, three hundred and thirty million Americans about that? Right? We can't find educated people. We have to go to Iran, India, everywhere else. Who's paying for their college? From the girl from Stony follow the money, who's paying for them the listen, listen, you got you gotta understand, and then I really do a pre shape your thoughts, your call. And we are political orphans, and I think it's important that we recognize that. But I got it. I got no. But I'm saying, listen, I'm making a point here. But when you add up, and I appreciate the call. When you add up the cost to the educational system in this country, New York, especially California, especially Arizona border states in particular, they have been brutalized, you know, and then you add up the cost of the health care system and the impact that you know, we're paying for all their health care, we pay for their education. When they go to jail, we pay for their incarceration and the cost or in the trillions and trillions of dollars. Americans have the right to demand accountability. We have the right to secure our borders. There's nothing wrong with defending our borders, especially when so many people are taking jobs away from Americans, when we have the lowest labor participation rates since that, and these we have crime problems, educational cost, healthcare costs that we're all bearing the burden of paying for. And on top of that, then you run the added risk that, well, if somebody comes to America because they want a job, well, what about somebody crossing the border because they want to drop a bomb or or or whatever that means of destruction and kill Americans because they think this is what their God is telling them to do. And that is a great risk to this country. The difference between me and the difference between Donald Trump and me and versus these liberals, the Democrats, the left, the lunatics out there, they don't care. They don't care if you're a victim of identity theft. They don't care about the cost education, healthcare, criminal justice. They don't care about the safety and security of Americans. It's just simple, basic common sense. They're willing to gamble with your life. I'm not willing to do that. They're willing to say, well, we can't inconvenience a few visitors. I'm sorry. If you're a guest in our house and we have a problem, and it's called radical jihadis at war with America, we have the right to know that you're not one of them. And that's just basic, simple common sense. And all the charges of racism and Chucky crying and un American, well, he wasn't crying when Obama did it some twelve times. What it wasn't crying when a band iraqis from coming here? Was that a Muslim band? Was that a religious litmus test? Because using their logic, it would be called that he wasn't crying because Chuck is a hypocrite. Chuck is now given into the radical base of the Democratic Party because they're the loudest voice. And Chuck is now going to fight on and resist and obstruct on everything he can, even though they have failed spectacularly on everything that they have tried so far, and now they're even beginning to give up, and their focus I think will move to Neil Gorsch and whether or not they like it or not, Neil gore such will be on the U. S. Supreme Court. Let's get back to our phones. Good call. Appreciate it one Sewan as we say hi to Chuck Is in Georgia. Chuck, how are you glad you called ray Sean? Thank you for taking my call. I really appreciate it. Yes, sir, Um, I've been a fan of years, for years. I'm I started watching you I was thirteen and now I'm twenty nine, so I really was raised with you. You You feel like part of the family. Um, oh my pleasure. I was watching I was listening to Russia. I had just said I should say on Tuesday, and he was talking, you know, he posed a question, what's the one thing that can be railed Trump's agenda? And just gut instinct out loud, I audiobly said, doutlass gop. And then when I was listening to your show the same day, you just gave them a tongue lashing, and I was just thinking, oh my gosh, we are selling the same page. Because I didn't know what Russa said. But I will tell you that is my great fear Republicans will cave. Republicans are going too slow. Look, I hope you'll watch tonight's opening analogue, and it's gonna be pretty brutal. I'll tell you right now. I've I've been writing it all day and it's I'm going right after the Republican Party. They need to get up to the speed of Trump. And if they're not willing to get up to the speed of Trump, then they need to get out of the way. And it's really unconscionable eight years later that they don't have a consensus repeal and replace plan for Obamacare. It's it's it's unconscionable. And then to hear that that's their main focus, and then they're given a deadline at the end of the year. That means what We're gonna wait an entire year till corporations can repatriate trillions and we lower the corporate tax rate to incentivize corporations to hire people. You know, the people that have been suffering eight years that have no jobs, the people that have been suffering in poverty and on food stamps. The American economy which has been stagnant and and bordering on recession. The whole eight years. You know, we deserve better, and these people need to get get off of their asses and go to work. And going to work means staying up late, writing bills, getting it right, and doing what they promised. And I have no patience for the speed at which they're going, and there's no sense of urgency, which I I think we have every right to demand for them from them. And they seem to be too afraid of the media, um and pop culture to have the same guts that Donald Trump has and the American voter put him in for a reason, and we want them to fall in line or we will be all too happy to get rid of them. Yep, listen, I appreciate it, but it can That is my opening monologue tonight on Hannity, and it's really important. And I think we've got to put these guys on notice. They really need a kick in the ass. You know. I like to move at the speed of Trump, you know, and you think about it in your own life, and I I just my crew and I here have been talking about this a lot for the last three days. And I know the schedule of Congress. I mean, they're off like a hundred fifty days a year. I'm like, I barely get two weeks vacation at the end of the year, and I crawled to the finish line at the end of every year, and I don't want extra time off. It's not my nature. It's not I'm not the big take a vacation guy and lay on the beach. You know, when my family goes to a beach, I never go there. I can't stand sitting there for hours. It drives me nuts, and I just you know, these guys have their their expension of lunches every day and they do a lot of talk talk, talk, talk talk. I don't know anybody in their own business. There's not one person radio or TV that works for me that takes a lunch every day. Every single person I know has their lunch at their desk. And in New York, you're kind of lucky because they'll deliver it right to your building. Whatever you want to eat, it gets delivered right there. And it is beyond frustrating to me that they don't have the urgency that all of us have in our daily jobs. We don't have the luxury of going to lunch. We don't have the luxury of putting our feet up. Yeah, all do a gloss of lott with sir. It drives me insane. When I was when I worked in restaurants that I was a dishwasher. I had to move my ass. When I was twelve years old to cook at thirteen, I had to move. A bus boy, I ran, I sweat it all night, and to the same being a waiter in a bartender on a busy night, I wouldn't stop for ten hours. I wouldn't have a second to breathe. And it's the same in my construction business. I'd stay. You know, I've stayed till two in the morning. I'd be back at seven thirty. And they don't have that urgency. They're not in touch with how Americans live, work and how everybody else has deadlines and urgency. Get your ass in gear. And I'm talking to Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan in particular. Guys, get moving, stay at the speed of trump. Get it done now. We've been waiting for years. Stop with the excuses. Go to work like the American people go to work every day. It's such a such a disconnect. All the breaking news, the analysis to help you make sense of it, all this is the Sean Hannity Show. All right, that's gonna wrap things up with today, All right tonight on Hannity. I hope you'll record my opening monologue because I'm directing it right at Republicans in the House and the Senate, and I'm not talking about all of them, especially the Freedom Caucus and guys like Louie Gohmert and Pete Sessions and Marsha Blackburn that are not in the Freedom Caucus. There are people that want to work and get things done, but I'm tired of the lack of urgency to fix the country, and these guys need to get up to the speed of Trump. We have Michelle malcol on that the latest on the extreme vetting battle that's going on. More media bias, it shouldn't shock you. And what do you hear about a poll that shows more Americans trust Trump and the news media? Interesting? Also, the left wing hypocrisy. Will go to the protest that took place in Arizona. And that's all coming up ten eastern tonight, Hannity on Fox. I hope you'll record the opening monologue. Send it to your congressman and your senator ten eastern tonight. Thanks. For being with us back here tomorrow,
